A different perspective after being burned by Automator breakage in Leopard:
Automator certainly has some attractive points but I lost a lot of faith in its resilience when the transition from Tiger to Leopard broke some significant actions such as renaming files selected in the Finder and other fundamental actions I relied upon. Some are still not fixed as far as I am aware. So some of the selling points of Automator, reuse and built-in OS function access allowing a faster more elegant solution specifically, are diminished by Automator fragility and unreliability and those realities should be considered when deciding whether Automator provides the optimal value proposition for a project.
In conclusion, while Automator seems like a powerful and elegant tool and it certainly is for some tasks, it is also fragile and commercial developers whose livelihood depends on timely delivery of their work might want to stick with most robust and less os-release-dependent scripting using the shell, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. Unless Apple makes the resiliency of Automator and its components and building blocks a higher priority, using Automator as a tool is a higher risk than it first appears to be.

I don't know whether this is valid what I am trying to do. I created a custom template project by duplicating one of the template projects already present at ~Library\Application Support\Apple:Developer Tools\Project Templates. However I want to add more dialog wizards in new project dialog window after selecting the above template and providing the name for new project.
